Styles & Section Numbering in RTF
« on: November 22, 2011, 10:29:10 pm »
Hi All,

I've read (and probably not understood - note i think help docs need updating here) the User-Defined Section Nunbering section, but i can't get the effect i require.

I'm generating a document (a table of requirments) which is being automatically inserted into a Word document as a linked document. This works fine.

However the word document uses different "heading styles", "Numbered Heading 2" and "Numbered Heading 3". I can create the same styles in the RTF template editor and apply "Heading Style 2" to my "Package name", however i can't get the RTF generatror to automatcially use "Heading Style 3" for child packages. Any suggestions ?

I appreciate this ones a bit difficult to explain, so please ask for clarification if you think you may be able to help.

Regards,


Jon.

Not clear from your description what you are trying to achieve.
However regarding RTF document generation and header levels I have this advice.
1. Define all the styles in a normal.rtf file and copy that into folder C:\Program Files\Sparx Systems\EA\DocTemplates. Make sure that your number in the headers is correct.
2. Base all RTF templates in EA on that normal.rtf
3. Make sure on the advanced tab of the generate RTF Documentation dialog  has the "adjust heading levels" is set to level 9
4. Don't check the skip root package on that tab either.

Hope that helps
 :)

Happy to help
:)

If you're struggling to get the RTF generator to produce what you need, can I suggest you have a look at eaDocX? We thought there was a demand for a higher-function and simpler generator than the built-in RTF one, for people who need really high-quality document. We couldn't find one, so we wrote one.
Anyway, see the URL below for some sample documents, and a free trial copy.
Thanks
